[Image description: A digital painting of Jim Halsey from The Hitcher. It's a close-up of his face. He looks fearful, with his eyebrows drawing in, his eyes widening, and his mouth slightly open. On either side of his face, there's dramatic bright blue lighting. Meanwhile the background, which shows a car window, is significantly darker. There's two low opacity green lines outlining the right side of his face. The colour palette uses a wide array of colours, and looks quite bold. The style is a mix of blocks and scratchy lines.]

[Image description: A piece of art based on the film The Dirties, using a mix of digital and traditional mediums. It shows the characters Matt and Owen sitting next to a monitor frozen on a frame of the pair. The portion in the real world is done traditionally with a mix of pen, and ink and wash. Slivers of orange shine through the monochrome, which is otherwise devoid of colour - save for a slight blue wash on Owen's shirt. Matt looks intently forward, although not towards the viewer. His expression is dejected. Owen faces the monitor and away from the viewer, cut off by the edge of the piece. The image on the monitor is drawn digitally, more colourful than the rest of the piece. Within it, Matt points a gun at the camera as his face is lit up in a crazed, joyous scream. Owen is cut off at the side, head pushing down into his shoulders and expression more relaxed - his gun is not visible, though he is aiming. There's a white fuzz over the monitor display.]

[Image description: A digital painting based on the film The Duke of Burgundy. It depicts the couple at the centre of the film, Cynthia and Evelyn, as they are wrapped up in one another. Evelyn closes her eyes, a serene look on her face, as she tilts Cynthia's chin upwards - it seems as if she's searching for a kiss. Meanwhile, Cynthia lips pout as she looks off into the distance, tears crawling down her cheek. Her hands cup Evelyn's face, with the one most visible to the viewer having pins stuck to each of her nails, limp against Evelyn's cheek. A pin also rests between their mouths, the sharp end pointed at Cynthia. The piece is predominantly green and yellow in its colouring, with hints of purple and blue. It is painted with an emphasis on texture, looking akin to oil and chalk pastels.]

[Image description: A digital drawing of Matt and Owen from the film Operation Avalanche. The focus is their two faces, with Owen at the top and Matt at the bottom - they both stare directly at the viewer. Owen seems to be wearing the replica space suit, lips pursed and eyes heavy as he gazes forward. Matt looks slightly concerned, his eyes lacking highlights and his eyebrows furrowed. They are drawn with a mixture of stark, black lines that feel rounded and fuzzy, and soft shading. A void rests on Owen's right shoulder and Matt's left shoulder, looking like scrawled ink. Next to Owen, there's a starbust of light that crawls down the page. The colours are warm yet desaturated, switching between soft and scratchy application. There's a strange white freckling near the blast of light that looks like a film reel that has been chemically tampered with.]

[Image one: Page one of a digital comic based on Matt and Jay from Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. It features them skydiving off the CN Tower, paused at the moment where Matt pushes Jay off first. Both of their faces are out of view, but Matt curves over Jay confidently while Jay flails his arms out as if to catch himself. Next to them, the sentence starts "wherever I push you,". In the sky below Jay there's a flash forward of the pair floating down on parachutes, Matt lagging upwards. The sentence continues: "I will follow.". The pieces has bold stylised line art, a warm undertone and a chalky texture. The orange of the skydiving suits pops against the pale blue of the sky.

Image two: Page two of a digital comic based on Matt and Jay from Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. A column of objects - a bag of speed, a noose, a toonie and a brick phone - cascade down the right of the page, accompanied by the words "if I hurt you". On the other side, Jay's leg kicks upwards into Matt's outreached palm, as if he's running away. A panel behind his leg shows golden fireworks shooting off. Above his leg, an orange cable with an exposed ends gravitate towards Matt's fingers, electricity fizzing off of it. The sentence continues below the pair: "know that I get hurt in the recoil". The piece is warm with shocks of colder blues.

Image three: Page three of a digital comic based on Matt and Jay from Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. It begins with four panels. The first two show the pair hugging at the end of The Boost episode of the show, Jay dressed in a hospital gown. The bottom two depict the hug after the reveal in The Buddy episode. The left panels show Jay's side of the hugs, while the right show Matt's. Jay is cut off before you see his eyes, and clutches tight. Matt is either burying his head into Jay's shoulder or looking up in teary-eyed anguish. Around these panels, a sentences begins: "(press your bruise into my bruise,". At the bottom of the page, it continues with "look through the tears in your eyes into the ones in mine". These words curve around close-ups of the duos eyes as they tear up, Jay's sinking down into Matt's.

Image four: Page four of a digital comic based on Matt and Jay from Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. A newspaper detailing Jay shooting his bandmate drifts down into a panel of Matt holding the orange cable as he connects the clippers to the power box. Below this, there's a blown up image of Matt and Jay like in the episode The Banner, a flame travelling up over the blackened silhouette of Jay as Matt looks at him with a nervous smile and sweats. Written next to Matt it says "the day you die". Below the banner is a panel of Matt fake hanging himself in the episode The Battle of the Bands, the words continuing with " would be the day I die too;".

Image five: Page five of a digital comic based on Matt and Jay from Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. It begins with Jay - from The Boost episode - clutching the rails of his hospital bed. This is swallowed up in a trail of flames on the asphalt of the road, Matt's hat laying discarded on it. Separating the flames and the hat is two fortune cookie fortunes overlapped to say "it may be the day I kill you". The numbers at the bottom first show the date they first time travel to in 2008, and the day of the CN Tower plan and Matt's electrocution.

Image six: The final page of a digital comic based on Matt and Jay from Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. It starts with two panels connected by a whiteboard eraser. The first shows Matt focused on the whiteboard as he writes out the CN Tower plan, seemingly content. The next panel shows Jay looking at him with a soft smile and shining eyes. This leads into a larger whiteboard with the phrase "(it may be the day you let me).". The last three words have a slight smudge behind them, and the whiteboard marker trails down from the full stop. The whiteboard has a bright orange trim.]

[Image description: An oil pastel piece depicting two pigeons. The top pigeon tucks its head into its chest, giving it a more rounded and cozy appearance. The bottom pigeon stands upright instead, beak pointed forward and eyes beady. Unlike the other pigeon, the drawing remains unfinished around the wing, devolving into scribbles. Above the white of the paper, there's an uneven and painterly blue background behind the birds, which gives the piece a cool tone. The pigeons are coloured with blues, purples, greys and greens, with a pop of orange for the claws of the first one. They are drawn semi-realistically, with the colours bold and the shapes more pronounced. Splashes of pink and pale yellow frame the pigeons, alongside three pink raffle tickets that float towards the edge of the page.]

[Image description: A traditional two-page spread of ink and acrylic paint art depicting the titular character from the film Donkey Skin. There are two panels. The first shows the princess donning her donkey skin cloak, eyes closed and face turned down, expression forlorn. Her blonde hair tumbles out from under the donkey hide. The colour scheme is slightly muddy yet dreamy and pastel, with a dark blue for the lineart and shading. This side is more simplified than the other, which captures the princess more realistically with more delicate lineart, depicting her in her former royal attire. She wears a tall, spindly crown and a dramatic gown with large sleeves. Her gaze is resolute, a small smile rests on her face, and she holds a blue-backed handheld mirror. Small sparkles reside on her. At the bottom of the piece, there's a field of star shapes and the text "peau d'ane" in an ornate font and surrounded by a golden glow. The background is a pastel purple, and her hair is a stark yellow, contrasting against the white paper that peaks through her skin and dress.]

[Image description: A traditional painting of Martin Mathias from the film Martin. The piece uses a combination of india ink and acrylic paint, focusing on dramatic shadows and vibrant colours. He looks down from a vantage point, eyes obscured in darkness and blending into the void of his hair - there's a reddish hue to the black of the shadows. His mouth is open to reveal only the blackness within it, but the rest of his expression seems unmoved. Blood splatters on his bare chest, leading up to where it coats his mouth and cheeks. This piece uses variations of red to render Martin and mostly gravitate towards yellow in the background, although there are also greens, browns, and some striking pops of blue. The painting is restricted to an uneven rectangle, which is framed by the white of the paper.]

[Image one: A digital drawing based on the film David and Lisa. It depicts the titular characters, a panel enclosing them. Lisa is holding a sheet of paper with writing on it as she stares David down, waiting and enraptured. David is shown from the side as he glances back at her, a speech bubble obscuring Lisa's writing on the paper as he tells her "I see a girl,". The panel is coloured in grey-scale while the speech bubble and frame are yellow, and the background is a dusty pink. The piece is muted, yet warm, and drawn with a pencil-like texture.

Image two: A digital drawing based on the film David and Lisa. It depicts the hands of the titular characters clasped together. Lisa drops her hand into his outstretched palm. There is a panel surrounding them but their sleeves escape it. They are coloured in greyscale while the frame is yellow and the background is a dusty pink. In the panel background, David's sentence continues: "a pearl of a girl.". The piece is muted, yet warm, and drawn with a pencil-like texture.]

[Image description: A digital drawing of Maki Zenin and Nobara Kugisaki from Jujutsu Kaisen. Maki has an arm on Nobara's shoulder and they raise their weapons - a knife for Maki and a hammer for Nobara - until they are flush to one another. Both of them look forward towards the viewer, a big grin on Maki's face and a sheepish one on Nobara's, who has her fringe covering one of her eyes. Both of them are blushing. They are wearing casual outfits, and their nail polish reflects each other's hair colours. They are coloured in warm tones, and the background is a plum purple.]

[Image description: A digital drawing of Abed Nadir and Troy Barnes from the show Community. They are pressed next to each other, with Abed sat up as Troy inserts his head in the space next to Abed. The two are smiling, with Abed joyful but reserved and Troy's grin more broad. They both have a shine in their eyes. The colours are warm with pink tones, and there's some soft shading on the pair, specifically for their faces. The lineart is black and their hair merges together. The background is a gradient from light purple to pink.]

[Image description: A digital of Mitusba Sousuke and Minamoto Kou from the manga Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun. The pair looks at each other with grins in their face, Mitsuba with their teeth touching while Kou's mouth hangs open. Both of them have sharp canines pointing out as and blush on their faces as they lock gazes. Mitsuba bunches their hands at their torso, covered by their jumper sleeves. They have a very saturated pink palette compared to Kou. Meanwhile, Kou is holding his arm behind Mitsuba, which is visible through their translucency. Both have warm, pink undertones. The background is mauve, with a pale blue glow in the middle.]

[Image one: A digital drawing of Hank Olson from the film The Long Walk. It depicts the moment he gets repeatedly shot in the stomach by a carbine gun. There is a flash in front of him that travels from his torso and obscures his face. It's a bright starbust shape, invoking the sun. A burst of red sits at its centre. From Hank's back, there's three holes where the bullets have passed through that shoot out beams of blood and light. They almost seem to tug him backwards as his hands come up in front of him, as if he's embracing the light. The background is a dark grey void with the words "look for the sun" written on it. The piece uses warm colours.

Image two: A digital drawing of Art Baker from the film The Long Walk. It depicts him in his final moments, drenched in the blood of his nosebleed. It covers almost everything below his nose, dark and shining. In Art's eye there sits the bright reflection of the moon, which shines outwards - this shine connects to the shine from his the start of his nosebleed and also from his rosary. He holds the rosary in his bloodied hand, thumb steadying it. The eye that isn't shining looks dead and tired and straight at the viewer. His face is similarly gone, features relaxed into blankness. The background is a light blue, with the phrase "in the face of the moon written on it. The piece uses cold colours.]

[Image description: A digital painting of Carrie White from the film Carrie. It shows Carrie after she has been drenched in blood, which drools down her face. She clutches her face as a crazed expression envelopes her face, like she's stuck in a shocked yet manic scream, eyes wide. Green light is thrown upon her face, casting dramatic shadows and making the blood stand out more. Besides the green and red there's a lot of blue for the shadows. The piece uses bright colours in thick blocks, interspersed with bold lines.]
